About Atom Central

AtomCentral is a division of Visual Concept Entertainment (VCE), which began in 1982 after
founder Peter Kuran finished work as animation supervisor for Industrial Light and
Magic (ILM) on George Lucas' The Empire Strikes Back.

On July 16, 1945, at a site called Trinity, a plutonium bomb was assembled and
brought to the top of a tower. The bomb was detonated, producing an intense flash
and a fireball that expanded to 600 meters in two seconds.
